Jeremy Thompson, 38, is facing several counts of battery after the incident unfolded outside his home.

Thompson is in jail on a $50,000 bond after prosecutors said a visit from an Indiana Department of Child Services worker caused him to snap.

It was at a home on Veronica Place where prosecutors said tense moments unfolded between Thompson, police and the DCS worker.

Police said it started when that worker called to see how Thompson was doing with his 6-month-old child.

"What you wished would never happen, happened in this incident," said Clark County Deputy Prosecutor Linda Lamping. "There had been some issues previously. So, she called to check on them and when the phone was answered, Jeremy Thompson appeared to be inebriated of some sort to her."

So authorities said the worker showed up and when she did, Thompson turned on her.

"The defendant started making threats to her and threats to the child," said Lamping.

Courts documents show Thompson said he would kill everyone if she tried to take the child.

Police said Thompson became physical when she tried to do just that.

"As the worker was trying to exit the house, he pushed her and the baby's head hit the doorway," said Lamping.

By that time, prosecutors said the police were at the home. Thompson is charged in connection with assaulting them, too.

"There were two officers. He engaged the two officers and one of our officers was hurt," said Lamping.

We're told that officer was punched in the face and kicked in the head before Thompson was shot with a stun gun and taken to jail.

Prosecutors called it an end to a dangerous situation police and DCS unfortunately sometimes face.

"I think it does point out the risk that our officers put themselves in, day in and day out," said Lamping.

WLKY spoke with Thompson's family Tuesday night. They declined an interview because the case is ongoing, but said Thompson takes medication for his temper.

They said he hadn't taken the medicine that day.

The child is doing fine.

Court records show when Thompson was taken to jail, he threatened to kill four corrections officers.
